The document describes a learning design workshop that used a framework called the 7Cs of learning design. The workshop consisted of 6 sessions where participants worked through e-tivities (structured online activities) in course teams. The e-tivities guided participants to conceptualize their course by considering features, developing a course map, auditing learning resources, profiling learning activities, creating a storyboard, and developing their own e-tivities. Resources and templates were provided to support each e-tivity.
